25 | On July 14, 2021 ay 10:31AM, Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Brigitte Tsutaoka conducted an unannounced Case Management - Incident inspection regarding a child injury self-disclosed by Director, Kyle Thornton. LPA met with Director and disclosed the purpose of inspection. Upon entry, LPA counted 7 staff, Director and 39 school-aged children.
During inspection, LPA interviewed Children and Staff. Child 1 was engaging in a game of dodgeball with the other children, was running away from a ball being thrown at him, and tripped over a "rainbow ball" that landed on the ground causing him to twist his ankle. The children play dodgeball as a method of agility training. Staff 1 and Child 2 assisted Child 1 immediately and ice was administered to the injured ankle. Child 1 sat out the next activity while icing his ankle and Parent 1 came approximately an hour after the injury to check on Child 1. Parent 1 decided to take home Child 1 to rest his ankle. By the time Parent 1 came to pick up Child 1, he was able to walk on his ankle, but was taken home as a precaution to make sure his ankle did not sustain a serious injury.
Based on evidence obtained and interviews conducted, the injury sustained was an accident and was not a result of negligence or lack of supervision by the center. No citations will be issued today according to Title 22 Regulations. Consultation provided during the inspection. Exit Interview conducted and a copy of report was read and provided to Director, Kyle Thornton. |
